I will never buy a book titled “Husband Is Useless.” Where exactly am I supposed to keep it in this house?
My father must never set eyes on that nonsense because the man is NOT useless to my mother or to us his children. I’d rather take that ₦9,500 and do a giveaway on the street for people who actually need it.
Husbands have suffered enough in this life.
The things they go through just to put food on the table, school fees, rent and still be expected to carry the entire weight of the home. Some of us still have fathers who showed up.
Men make money to build a life with the woman they love. Women make money so they never have to stay with a man just because they need him.
A man’s money can make love easier. A woman’s money gives her the freedom to choose love over survival. That’s why financial independence matters.
Caught myself taking pictures of a bathroom. That’s how you know the finishes are serious, the blue basins, the lighting and the seating. This was designed like a room people are meant to enjoy, not rush through.
Would you judge a place by its bathroom?
If I am 20 and you are 60, that means you are three times my age.
But 20 years later when i am 40, you would be 80 years old. And you would be two times just older than me.
Why is it that earlier you were 3 times older than me, but right now you are just two times older than me.
MY MOM: "When you get married and have your own house, you can do whatever you want. Not here."
MY WIFE: "You're not going to do whatever you want here, this isn't your mom's house."

She asked twice if our buttercream had nut oil in it. Twice.
I work at a bakery. A bride came in three weeks before her wedding to finalize her cake order.
Her fiancé has a severe tree nut allergy, and she wanted to make absolutely sure before she signed off on anything.
I checked with our head baker. Confirmed nut free.
Wrote "NO NUTS, GROOM ALLERGY" in bold on the order sheet myself.
Taped a copy to the box on pickup day so there'd be zero confusion.
The day before the wedding, her maid of honor came to grab the cake instead of the bride.
I walked her through the setup instructions and asked if she had any questions.
She said no. She was good.
She wasn't....
